did los angeles make you feel ugly???

We just moved to LA from Mississippi 2 mos ago so yeah... I understand... Why do you think Im here??

ETA: Really, though, not everyone is like that. Ive seen more diversity in this area (I actually live in Santa Clarita Valley, its about 30 mins north of Hollywood) than I ever have. People of all types. Love it here! But yeah when I go to Hollywood, Bevery Hills area, I feel like a toad. LOL

Diversity!! LOL I hate that word when used in Cali. It is more like a salad bowl lots of different ingredients, however none of them really mix together. This is why there is Korea town, China town, etc. On a whole it is not a melting pot at all.

No. We are a veritable cornucopia of people here of varying degrees of fitness. They don't make me feel any more or less attractive. I am just a wee bit envious when I see people running for miles, but I am working on getting there.

Attractiveness is all in the eye of the beholder and I must say one thing we do have is an abundance of really beautiful (to my hetero eye) Latin women. If I were a guy or a woman who digs women I would be in heaven.

Hell, any Korean lady who asked my boyfriend to get something down from the shelf made me cringe (we lived in Koreatown - not being racist).

Um. Soooo, what are you sayin'? Are you calling Koreans short or something??? I think I'm feeling a little butthurt now...and short.

You know, the funniest part? My bf at the time was 5'3"! :huh:

I live in West LA, what seems like the home of every aspiring model in the state. It's a little crazy sometimes, but I love it here

Stop comparing yourself to everyone around you, and your life will be better. Promise.

I just walk around with a bag of dog poop and then smear it on anyone who is more attractive than me.

During this thread, i thought i was offended, then I was adamant, then I was disagreeing, then I was for sure gonna say something profound but then I found you. And your silly comment made it all better.

I love LA. BTW not all the latino's are overweight. Neither are all the Latina's beautiful. Sometimes you find them both rolled into one overstuffed beauty. Sometimes you find a latina ugly b!tch who used to be my friend but is no longer since I realized beauty is only skin deep but ugly goes to the bone.

cue overused stereotypical "I love LA" song here. Yay ocean, yay mountains, yay movies stars, yay dodgers, yay good eats, yay various kinds of people. Boo traffic, boo too many languages being divisive, boo people judging each other on looks in a split second too much, boo smog. Overall though LA 10/10 would bang. And revisit if I were you. With a different itinerary and an eye for the architecture and arts more than the people watching or celeb searching.

Which part of LA did you go to?

i stayed in the miracle mile area
and spent most of my time between west hollywood and santa monica
i saw hot people wearing sports bras or no shirts at all jogging alongside heavy traffic
usually i honk at joggers and give them the thumbs up but i wanted to yell at these people to go to a trail or park! show offs

Skinny women with tans and plastic surgery running in sports bras! Sounds like heaven to me.

Now i'm freaking out haha, i'm visiting the states for a holiday later this year and LA is on the list, I hope I don't feel like too much of an ugly duckling misfit!

Lived there over half my life and so no, just didn't feel trendy enough sometimes.

My cousin lives in the oc in a very rich area where everyone is plastic and in great shape, feel fat around them usually lol

usually i honk at joggers and give them the thumbs up

Yeaaah, don't do that.

Most times when I am in LA I am too busy wondering if the bum passed out on the sidewalk is dead or dead drunk to notice if people are attractive.....

What part of LA were you in? Up near Burbank and Hollywood and all that?

Come down to Long Beach. We're all homely, homey.

People from LA know that there is no such thing as LA. Lol. Do you mean Westwood, West Hollywood, Compton, Canoga Park, Santa Monica, Reseda, or Long Beach? It's huge and spread out all over the place. So, there is no LA look. I would say the majority of LA is the opposite of what you think. It's run down, gangs, lots of poverty, etc. All the Hollywood BS is mostly fake. There's only a few at he top and you know who they are, the rest are wanna-bes and hopefuls.

Anyway, I wouldn't worry. LA actually has a huge obesity problem. Just ask my co-workers.

So true!!! Love this!

I completely hate that stereotype about L.A. being fake and full of gorgeous people. I have lived here my entire life and unless you are in the touristy areas, the rest is a melting pot. L.A. is more than just a small segment of Beverly Hills. I live in Orange County and I don't really see all these Barbie Dolls either, but perhaps that's more prevalent in the beach areas of Newport and Laguna. Bottom line, if you're in a VERY touristy area of a big city, you will probably encounter a lot of attractive people. Trust me, I see many unattractive people here!

its not really a steroetype because it is sorta true. But ur right...depending on the area. You go to santa ana, what do you see? A lot of overweight hispanics. You go to Newport....what do you see? Barbie and Kens almost everywhere. Demographics. So he was probably in one of those "areas" where it was full of gorgeous folk.

In case anyone got "offended" ...I wasn't just talkin outta my *kitten*.

P.s. my kids are half hispanic so that makes me half hispanic (by injection)

P.p.s Next time come see the beaches....great stuff mang. Gotta love the water :flowerforyou:

Your sooooooo outrageous....
